Today. *sigh*

I woke up, had breakfast, and then got whisked away thinking I was headed for the city by my parents.
I was very wrong.
I went, instead to Karrinyup Shopping Centre, which has infinitely better shops than galleria and even Midlands. *phew* I was starting to lose all hope for Australian shopping malls.

After which I came back and am now typing this.
School is officially over for the year, and now is my time to relax, day dream and allow myself the break from the stress and work that I have been committed to for the entire year.
Or maybe not.
For next year, I am taking up:
History
English Literature
Applicable Maths
Human Biology
Chemistry
Political and Legal Studies

I have an incredibly long list of subjects to take. And I suppose that it’s just as well, I should actually begin the revision session.

Allow me to explain what each subject is, as I will presume that not many of you will know the difference between say, English Lit and English 3A3B.

In History next year, I will be doing the Russian Revolution with much gusto, as it will be the last piece of international history I will ever do in school, before moving on to Australian history, which I am already quite sick of, without having even touched it, merely because of the similarity between it and American history. Hopefully, I will keep increasing in marks for history next year, seeing as this years were pretty dismal, for someone who loves history so much.
English Literature is a rather hard, but kind of easy subject too. It entails analysing texts left right and centre, and afterwards, writing essays on the studied texts. I have been doing this in Saints all my life, and therefore feel that I should not actually have too many problems with it. Or so I think. Apparently, this subject also entails that I write 1200 word essay in the space of 60 minutes. Which looks fine, but not quite. Especially seeing as I have never written more than 800 words in an hour. Perhaps I will now have to force myself to buck up. Seeing as English is not as easy as I thought it was.
Applicable Maths is basically a continuation of Introductory Calculus, which should be good for as I think that learning more maths would be a good idea and would technically open more career doors for me, should I end up not doing what I want to do now. However, I have a problem. Having never done Intro Calc before in year 11, or in any other year in any other school, I am left, high and dry and completely stranded on the island of Calculus. The next thing I know, I will be attacked by Calculus animals (figures and symbols) found only in the Jungle of Calculus and I will have no Calculus Ranger to help me out. So God save me, I might just die before the end of the year.
Human Biology looks okay. I think. Next year, I will be delving even deeper into the world of Human Biology, learning how genes are inherited, what makes a monkey a monkey, how the body systems are connected and all kinds of other rubbish. Well, not rubbish, but it does look hard I suppose.
Chemistry, my friend and my curse. I like chemistry, I really do, better than physics at any rate. I have never been able to, for the life of me, understand physics. I mean, NOTHING goes at a constant velocity, the experiment will 99% of time ALWAYS FAIL. In chemistry however, something always happens, whether it be an explosion, or a few bubbles going *fizz*. However, the calculations of chemistry are not so easy. Most of the time, it ends up being like physics. A made up thing in order that we better understand each and every particle on this earth.
Political and Legal Studies is by far the least understood of all my subjects. If I thought chemistry was hard, this harder. Especially since I haven’t yet heard one word as to what the political system in Australia is like. *snores* Not to mention, the political system as a whole is actually pretty boring. It’s about how a bunch of fat, old and very prestigious men (and few females) get together to discuss how the country should be run. Well done, I really need a subject for this?
So yeah, all in all, I might just get ready to commit a kamikaze by the end of the year. Not that I really will do it, I am just figuratively discussing my grades.

In addition to THAT stress, I am getting ready to go for my Year 12 Ball, and then after that my Graduation (but one dance at a time first!) and am I currently stressing on the dress, make up, manicure and hairstyle that I want for then. I think the Ball is held in March and is in the city, and I cannot wait for it, despite all the pre-dance stress that I am going through. I can still remember my first prom when my stress was absolutely sky high and I found the dress just 2 days before the prom. So I have decided to just stick to the same shoes, and concentrate on the dress, seeing as I feel that the other things are appropriate. Maybe not the bag, but I’m sure I can always find a place/person to lend me one.The only problem I am facing, per say, is the fact that I am completely lost in Perth and do not know where anything is. Therefore, I am at a loss and am frantically trying to locate about a hundred dress shops in and around Perth City. Go me! I should be known as Wonder Woman for this. And if I find nothing to my satisfaction, then I will go as a nudist. XD Kidding y’all.
So anyhow, should any of you know of a very nice, but cheap dress shop in Perth, please please PLEASE let me know. And yeah. Just let me know. XD
